wk7leung,beautiful shots of a beautiful bird. I really like the first shot as the detail and color are great.

Some CC: I do see some noise in the background which is a little distracting. The picture is wonderful but I think a small adjustment would send it over the top. I ran your image through Neat Image to show the difference, I hope you don't mind and I will remove if you wish. You'll lose some of the detail but I like the creamier background and the subject is more pronounced. I was a little heavy on the noise reduction just to point out the dimensional effect it gave the picture. I really enjoy viewing your pictures wk7eung, you have sucha great eye for composition and pose.

...I do see some noise in the background which is a little distracting.

I refer to the third shot. This time not about noises but the overexposure of the plumage on the dove's chest. Is it possible to make it right in exposure without affecting the exposure of the other parts of the shot? This must have been asilly question cos the answer must be the affirmative one; it is only I who doesn't know the know-hows.

People say that the change can be possiblethru usingthe Photoshop, isn't it?

Grateful if you would tell me that technique if you happen to know it.

wk7leung, after the fact exposure tweeks can be handled better in RAW mode within PS. Since this is a JPG I'd use the "Burn" tool in CS2 to adjust hotspots. Key is to smoothly drag the brush across the overexposed areas blending in with the darker sections. I used the softer brush pattern with a hardness setting at 16%. Once again exaggerated to point out the difference. There are other techniques I'm sure but this is how I'd do it.
